From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

.A resource is any physical or virtual entity of limited availability, or anything used to help one earn a living.^In general it is advisable to limit the internal use of mineral oil to periods of less than one week.

.February 2008" style="white-space:nowrap;">[citation needed] In most cases, commercial or even ethic factors require resource allocation through resource management.^Manufactured in China, it was sold at hobby stores, gas stations, gift shops and toy stores nationwide from February 2008 through April 2008 for about $4.

Natural resources like forests, mountains etc. are considered beautiful so they have aesthetic value. .Gifts of nature such as water also have a legal value because it is our right to consume them.^Therefore, all enforced vaccination (mass medication) is a violation of our legal rights.

.On the other hand, resources have an ethical value as well because it is our moral duty to protect and conserve them for the future generations.^Some, of course, was not so useful but was still well worth reading because it gives insight into the "mind" of the lube industry and lube and filter manufacturers in general.

Characteristics of resources

.Resources have three main characteristics: utility, quantity (often in terms of availability), and use in producing other resources.^Measured either in quantity or value, aluminum's use exceeds that of any other metal except iron, and it is important in virtually all segments of the world economy.

.However, this definition is not accepted by some, for example deep ecologists who believe that non-human elements are independent of human values.^And now for all of you non-believers out there, who think I'm taxidermied...

.The quantity of a resource refers to the total amount of a given raw material, rather than reserve, which is an economic term.^This immunity is short-lived lasting only about six months and may not be a total immunity, being a small amount of infestation rather than extensive infestation.

^Outside occupational settings, the amount of titanium absorbed via the lungs is of little significance in relation to the intake from food, and the intake by inhalation is less than 1% of the total intake.

.August 2008" style="white-space:nowrap;">[citation needed]Bottlenecks may form, making some resources unavailable, producing supply shocks.^They were sold at Limited Too and Justice retail stores nationwide, the Limited Too catazine (catalog) and on Limitedtoo.com from May 2007 through August 2008.

.Resource prices are prone to increases as speculators add commodity value to a resource or when risk, such as from geopolitical issues, are seen as an influencing factor in relation to the security of resource supply.^Riboflavin showed increased risk at the two lower quartiles of intake with a trend test P value of 0.04.

Value of a resource

The value or the importance of the gifts of nature depends upon several factors:

The needs of the people

Human needs are not uniform all over the world. .Over the years, they have grown and become more complex with the progress of human society.^Each year, more than 12,000 Americans find out they have thyroid cancer, though from various causes.

^Titanium used to be used almost exclusively in military applications (aircraft, missiles, spacecraft), but in recent years it has become cheaper and more widely used.

.In very developed societies, people use a variety of highly processed products.^Aluminum has hundreds of alloys and tempers, making it useful for a very wide variety of applications from aircraft, aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding to household products including pots, pans, and cooking utensils.

.On the other hand, in developing countries, the consumption of processed items is much less; while primitive communities like the Pygmies in Africa hardly use any processed items.^Other developing countries might take a much harder line.

The level of technology also influences the utilization of resources. .For example, the Prairies of North America were inhabited by the American Indians who used the Prairies as hunting grounds.^At Indian Ridge Guest Hunting Ranch , hunters are allowed to hunt by themselves from existing hunting blinds or hunting stands or to use spot and stalk hunting tactics as they deem appropriate.

Later when the European settlers arrived, they used the Prairies for agriculture. Today the Prairies are famous for the cultivation of wheat and the rearing of animals on a commercial basis.

Time

The value of the resource changes with time . For example, water was used by early man purely for his personal needs. .As time went on, water was used by humans for agricultural purposes namely irrigation.^I now realize that God preserved me for a purpose when he allowed me to be place into foster care and protected me from the human research predators – much like he allowed Joseph to be sold into Egypt and use him to protect his family and his people in a time of distress.

^If you do not have any potassium iodide, DO NOT TAKE IODINE TABLETS OR TINCTURE OF IODINE. Iodine is normally used in doses of 8 PPM to treat clear water for a 10 minute contact time.

.Later, water was also used as a means of transportation and humans built boats to travel on water.^In 1836 he invented and built a large machine (first known as the ``monster,'' later as the calender) for applying rubber directly to the fabric without the use of a solvent.

.According to Walter Youngquist, during periods of economic growth supply demands on a resource will typically rise due to increasing consumption from not only population growth but also higher living standards and the increased uses found for a given resource.^However, no processes for using these resources have been proven economically competitive with those now used for bauxite.

Types of resources

Natural resources

.Natural resources are derived from the environment.^According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency , recycling conserves natural resources that help sustain the environment, reduces the need for landfills, saves energy and prevents pollution.

.Many of them are essential for our survival while others are used for satisfying our wants.^We tell all our product customers that we hope/pray it all gets a chance to gather much dust upon their shelves un-used for many years!

.Natural resources may be further classified in different ways.^For example, a patient who always feels sick after receiving chemotherapy in a clinic that smells a certain way may be conditioned to feel sick when smelling the same odor in a different place.

Biotic - Biotic resources are those obtained from the biosphere. .Forests and their products, animals, birds and their products, fish and other marine organisms are important examples.^I like to think of body butters, lip balms and other salve like products that have fresh, fruity, marine or green scents.

.The development of an actual resource, such as wood processing depends upon the technology available and the cost involved.^The quantity of air required for a large colliery depends upon the number of men employed, as for actual respiration from zoo to 200 cub.

That part of the actual resource that can be developed profitably with available technology is called a reserve.

On the basis of renewability, natural resources can be categorized into:

Renewable Resources - Renewable resources are those that can be replenished or reproduced easily. Some of them, like sunlight, air, wind, etc., are continuously available and their quantity is not affected by human consumption. .Many renewable resources can be depleted by human use, but may also be replenished, thus maintaining a flow.^Thus, with prolonged use, tetracycline can adversely effect bone formation and contribute to calcium depletion.

.Some of these, like agricultural crops, take a short time for renewal; others, like water, take a comparatively longer time, while still others, like forests, take even longer.^The assumption, in other words, was that crustal evolution ( "distillation," in my parlance ) took some serious time on a serious planet .

Minerals and fossils are included in this category. .Since their rate of formation is extremely slow, they cannot be replenished once they are depleted.^They concluded that LDP has a negative effect on bone metabolism, since bone formation decreased while bone resorption remained unchanged or decreased slightly.

Out of these, the metallic minerals can be re-used by recycling them, but coal and petroleum cannot be recycled.

On the basis of ownership,resources can be classified into:individual,community,national,and international Individual resources:

Human resources

.Human beings are also considered to be resources because they have the ability to change raw materials into valuable resources.^DOGHOUSE : A boxlike extension or wing on a glass furnace through which a batch, the raw materials for making glass, or floaters, the introduction of another color, etc., are introduced into the furnace.

.The term Human resources can also be defined as the skills, energies, talents, abilities and knowledge that are used for the production of goods or the rendering of services.^WHIMSEY : A term used among glassworkers to define a simple playful item made in ones spare time for personal use.

^The terms gob feeder, up stream manipulation, and downstream manipulation are used by the inventors of the gob feeders and are a defined class of glass manufacturing equipment by the US Patent Office.

.Human resources are considered to be the most important resource in any project.^The Magnesium Factor - Magnesium is one of the most important nutrients for human health, yet it may be the most overlooked -- despite the fact that the majority of Americans suffer from magnesium deficiency.

Resource use and sustainable development

Many resources cannot be consumed in their original form. .They have to be processed in order to change them into more usable commodities.^The body changes sugar into 2 to 5 times more fat in the bloodstream than it does starch.

This is known as resource development. .With the rise in human numbers all over the world, the demand for resources has also increased.^World oil resources,” it states, “are judged to be sufficient to meet the projected growth in demand to 2030?

^Reducing metabolic "demand" can mean the inhibition of specific physiological events with the result that a number of downstream biochemical reactions are activated at a lower rate, or not activated at all.

.However, there is a difference in distribution of resources to different regions or countries.^However, there is debate about whether the drug could be distributed from these regional stockpiles quickly enough to do any good.
